Bethesda's Public Parking Lot 28 may be sold to private developer

Montgomery County is proposing to negotiate the sale of Public Parking Lot 28 at 4854 Cordell Avenue in Bethesda to a private real estate development firm. Greenhill Capital Corporation is the potential buyer, and has future plans to redevelop the 6000 SF parking lot in conjunction with other parcels it already owns on that block. Greenhill has not yet formally submitted development plans to the County, but the project under consideration would total about 400,000 SF of residential housing and ground floor retail.

The public is welcome to comment on the proposed sale prior to the start of negotiations. Any parties wishing to provide comments or other information to MCDOT about development of this parcel must contact MCDOT in writing by 5:00 PM on December 11, 2020 to the following address/email:

New Zipcar spaces being added to downtown Bethesda parking lot (Photos)

Montgomery County Public Parking Lot 28 is getting two Zipcar spaces. Under the surveillance of King Kong, who roosts atop a building in the New York-via-Las Vegas mural alongside the lot, signage has been installed for the car-sharing service.

Some attempt to temporarily mask the signage has been made, but the telltale logo ornament atop the sign was a dead giveaway, and one of the covers has flapped aside to reveal the sign underneath.
